A Legacy of

Building

by Ned Reade

d Hauser has been involved in all the ‘modern day’ construction on the Trinity-Pawling campus,” said Terry Stewart, member of the School’s Board of Trustees, former attorney to the Town of Pawling, past parent of two T-P graduates, and longtime friend. When one looks at the history of the school, three periods of growth and construction stand out: the Gamage Years, the Dann Era, and the period under Philips Smith and Arch Smith. The early campus included eight buildings, the post-World War II period added 16 structures, and the years since 1983 have seen 32 new building projects, each period doubling the previous one. Ed Hauser has served as Physical Plant Director in this ‘modern era’. He has overseen the expansion of the campus, blending a respect for the architectural heritage of the campus with the understanding of new advances in materials, construction, and building code. He is respected in the school community and throughout the Town of Pawling as someone who “likes to do things the correct way.” In 1968 Ed was hired as the sole teacher of the arts and taught music appreciation, art history and art, which included drawing, painting and sculpture. He also was head of the drama program and directed productions and was a dorm parent in Cluett. He married his wife, Helen, in 1970 in All Saints’ Chapel and a few years later purchased the house where they still live, just three miles from school. It was there that they raised their sons, Walter

‘96 and Fred ‘99. Ed left the employ of T-P for a short time to work as a commercial illustrator for two companies, Singer (makers of sewing machines) and Reader’s Digest (magazine publisher). Many of his drawings can be found in manuals and well known publications from that time. When Swede Harrington, beloved teacher and

Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves. coach, died suddenly in the middle of the school year in 1973, Ed was invited back by Matt Dann to teach Swede’s drafting classes and run the wood shop in the spacious rooms located in Barstow (later converted to a dorm). In 1978 he was elected Town Highway Superintendent, and later served as Town Building Inspector and was a member of the Pawling Fire Department, experiences that would serve him well as Physical Plant Director. “Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves” has been a Trinity-Pawling mantra that Ed has embraced. In 1983 Headmaster Phillips Smith developed an ambitious plan

S U M M E R

to improve and enlarge the campus. He recognized Ed’s potential as the man for the job. Ed continued to teach drafting in addition to his new job as Plant Director. Ed had received praise for his organizational skills and management expertise while working in various capacities for the Town of Pawling. “It was a challenge starting out,” said Hauser. “Phil Smith wanted the quality of work to improve.” Starr Hall was the first building project that Ed oversaw, and it transformed the campus housing for both students and faculty on campus. Joseph Meunier was hired as the contractor for that project, and he had worked for Headmaster Matthew Dann two decades previously on the Carleton Gymnasium. “I learned a great deal from Joe about quality workmanship” said Hauser, “and that spending money upfront always saves in the long run. You buy a hollow core door with two hinges and it won’t last a school year in a boys’ dorm. But a solid oak door with three hinges and ball bearings will stand the test of time.” Adrian Meunier took over the family construction business which has subsequently built the bridge over Route 22, McGraw Pavilion, the Rock Squash Center, Ebert Science Center, Scully Hall, and the new faculty housing located on the site of the old barracks, among other projects. “Ed has been great working with the engineers and architects. In job meetings he could steer people to think creatively,” said Meunier. He continued, “Every time

we had a building project, he made sure we upgraded the infrastructure as well.” Ned Reade remembers the 1970’s when proper diagrams and floor plans were in disarray or non-existent. Reade recalls, “One day a sewer line out of one of the dorms was blocked and, with the backhoe running, no one knew where to dig to find the pipe. Assistant Headmaster Bill Dunbar was called to the scene and asked if he remembered where that line was buried 15 years before! Luckily Bill guessed correctly. That scenario would never happen today with the careful records Ed Hauser has kept of all campus projects for 30 years.” Terry Stewart confirmed, “Ed is meticulous in his record-keeping and in memorializing the contributions of others in plaques around the campus.” Archivist Margaret Taylor praised Hauser for maintaining or replicating the historical features of buildings that underwent repurposing, such as the Arts Center. She relates

that Ed borrowed an old archival photo of the gymnasium, later used as an auditorium and now the new Arts Center. His purpose was to recreate the original doors. That kind of attention to historical detail has been a hallmark of Ed’s vision through the years, says Taylor. For all the bricks that have been laid and all the holes that have been dug, Ed cites the relationships he has built with his employees on the staff at T-P and the contractors as the great rewards of his job. Painful times came when he had to call an architect or contractor that had worked hard to bid on a campus project and tell them they had not been selected. In his gracious manner, he thanked them and encouraged them to keep in touch. Because of that personal communication, those same firms submitted plans in the future and were often selected for later projects. Ed and Helen feel blessed to have both their sons and their families living nearby. Both boys graduated from T-P. Walt ‘97 is an architect with the firm Kaeyer, Garment, and Davidson, designers of Scully Hall and the new faculty homes. Fred ‘99 works on the staff at Trinity-Pawling helping to maintain the campus for 300 boys. The unified look of the Trinity-Pawling School campus with its brick buildings with white trim and wide green expanses of open lawn has been the legacy of Ed Hauser’s tenure as Plant Director. Said Hauser “I’m not retiring, I’m just moving on to other projects.” The community is grateful for his stewardship. n

Lessons Learned by Todd E. Hoffman

first met John Taylor in the spring of 2001 when I was interviewing for a history position. I was immediately impressed with his encyclopedic knowledge and knew two things; first, I better give the best account of myself in discussing curriculum with this guy, and second, if I got the job I would have one hell of a new boss and mentor. I was correct on both fronts. I was lucky enough to be hired and thus began my twelve year working relationship with a terrific man, teacher, husband, father, coach, mentor, and friend. As JT retires to the bucolic beauty of Maine, it is time to reflect upon and celebrate his meaningful career and legacy. John and Margaret Taylor arrived in Pawling in the summer of 1984 with sons Ben and Will in tow. By this time John had held positions at the Germantown Friends School, Hebron Academy, Moorestown Friends School, and the Shipley School, all while earning a Master’s degree from Temple University to complement his BA from Bowdoin College. John was hired to chair the history department, which he did with unbridled enthusiasm for his 29 year tenure at T-P. JT helped implement the World History curriculum, which replaced the antiquated U.S./European approach that had been utilized throughout the nation since history was an academic subject. JT firmly believes that students should have an international and personal understanding of history. JT continues to maintain that an understanding of history must go beyond traditional political or economic structures, or “dead white guys on horses,” as David Hackett Fischer famously wrote. JT created a department

that integrated social and gender history and the consequences of cross cultural contact—from all perspectives. An additional focus on the impact of environment on the process of historical change illuminated a seldom told story in the 1980’s and 90’s that has since become a cause célèbre in the publishing world. One has only to read books such as Mayflower or The World Without Us to understand this newer trend in historical narrative and speculative “history.” JT has also brought environmental concern to light in the curriculum by including books such as Salt, Cod, Tea, and Sugar to help illuminate the influence these materials had on human actions throughout history. Humans sought essential and/or exotic materials and journeyed to the places where these could be found. The ability of one group to wrest control of these materials meant that certain civilizations would rise or fall—based upon their relationship to the environment and their

technological ability. This is just some of what a boy learned in JT’s classroom or as a member of his department. JT created a department that prides itself on being extremely well read and collegial, one where excellence and passions are demonstrated and expected. John also expanded the elective program significantly to address the global nature of the student body and to accentuate the basic survey curriculum, by focusing on salient issues, subjects, or eras that required further study. JT’s leadership ensured that history students developed the ability to read, write and think analytically and in many cases created lifelong learners. JT understood that in his drive for excellence there would be a range of student outcomes; either 5’s on AP tests for the honors guys or the fulfillment felt when a struggling student completed that first threepage research essay. JT prides himself by boasting that the History Department is the most scholarly on campus, and if that is true it is certainly due to his sterling example of what it means to be a scholar. JT was always much more than a history scholar during his tenure. JT enjoyed an excellent coaching record on all levels. Few coaches can boast 46 winning contests in a row in lower basketball over the course of the ‘87-’90 seasons. JT’s JV basketball teams averaged a championship every other year from ’91-’01. JT also assisted on the varsity baseball and basketball teams which won multiple championships, including regional championships in 2005 in both sports. JT strove to teach the values

of team play, sportsmanship, and an understanding of the game beyond wins or losses. JT always modeled the values of physical fitness and healthy competition, whether heading the recreational cycling program or supervising the weight room after 35 years of coaching on the sidelines. John’s thorough approach to anything he does made him a tremendous technical coach—be it in the batter’s box or at the foul line. JT touched thousands of lives in this area over his tenure and enjoyed tremendous success as a coach. Within the school community JT excelled at sharing his passion for community service in myriad ways over the years. JT demonstrated an ethic of social concern and has lived his life in the school community as one constantly trying to find ways to help others and illuminate to the boys the need to look beyond their own needs and desires. JT’s work with Red Cross blood drives, Habitat for Humanity, Christmas in April, Shelter Box, and Heifer International exposed the boys and the community to worthwhile causes and most importantly changed the lives of thousands of the beneficiaries of these programs. JT prides himself on having been professional and thoughtful in his relationships with all members of the community: students, faculty, administration, maintenance, housekeeping, and parents. While JT gave numerous chapel talks on a variety of subjects, he would be the first to maintain that he demonstrated with actions and words an understanding of the difference between acts of self importance and statements of self worth. JT spoke from the heart and walked the talk. Finally, anyone who has spent time with JT knows his devotion to family. JT’s adoration for his mother’s strength and fortitude in

raising him by herself are easily understood when one speaks with him about his own children. JT’s mother gave every ounce of energy and resources to give him every advantage. JT did not squander the opportunities his mother provided, as his career path and highlights indicate (see timeline). JT is a loving husband to Margaret and they are a real team—whether travelling around the world or working together on their book The History of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women—Volume 1 1930-1968 & Volume II 1968-1995. This dynamic duo also raised two impressive sons, Ben ‘98 and Will ‘00. Both boys won the Gamage Award and attended top notch schools—Ben, Johns Hopkins and Will, Princeton. In a fitting passing of the baton, Will is returning with his family to T-P to join the history department in the fall of 2013. To say the Taylors are proud would be an understatement. Life is measured in many ways. People speak often of legacies. John Taylor has many legacies—family, teaching, and coaching to name but a few. JT helped steward the history department and the entire school through a significant period of growth. In that time John Taylor was a consummate father, husband, teacher, colleague, department chair, coach, mentor, active community member, author, scholar, and man. John Taylor always adhered to the sage advice of John Lloyd Owen, “Meet them (students) where they are and take them as far as they can go.” John Taylor will be missed in the hallways of the Dann building, on the fields, and in chapel where his booming voice made morning hymns joyful. John Taylor leaves a tremendous legacy here—one characterized by helping thousands of boys take the steps necessary to become educated, thoughtful, and moral young men. n

Tales from the Archives

coming to T-P but my dorm neighbor, Claudia Dersch, encouraged me to apply for a job in the library. I was hired by Barry Bruce in 1987 and have worked under 4 head librarians and most likely hold the record for most number of years working in the library. Eva Von Ancken, T-P’s head librarian and John Ferguson, a school alumnus, class of 1935, were both very interested

Margaret Taylor also retires this year as School Archivist. As she was the first person in this position, Margaret was responsible for setting up the office full of myriad objects that collectively tell T-P’s history. Several years ago, Margaret was instrumental in the publication of the A Pride of Fighting Gentlemen:Trinity-Pawling at 100, written by Toupe Noonan. Margaret and John raised their two sons Ben and Will on T-P’s campus, where the latter returns this year to follow in his father’s footsteps as teacher of history. She tells her own story here.

y story begins with coming to Pawling in April 1984 for my husband’s final job interview for history chair position. My first impression as John and I drove up Route 22 was of the verdant Harlem Valley and cows lazing about in the fields in Patterson. Coming from a tiny row house in Philadelphia just feet removed from an elevated railroad line and busy city street, we both instantly fell in love with the countryside. During our years here, we have taken full advantage of the area’s natural beauty. We have hiked “the Gunks,” the Harlem and Dutchess Rail Trails, Cat Rocks, Pawling Nature Reserve, the Appalachian Trail, the Walkway Across the Hudson and numerous other venues. Needless to say we decided in a skinny minute that day in April that this was THE PLACE. Little did we know that T-P would be THE PLACE for the next 28 years. I often date my life B.C. and A.D. (before children and after diapers). My ten year career B.C. was as a coach, referee and physical and health education teacher in the Philadelphia Public Schools. I continued refereeing after

8 T R I N I T Y - P A W L I N G

Little did we know that T-P would be THE PLACE for the next 28 years in having a school archivist, and my interest in school history was apparent early on. I worked closely with the Director of Development Peyton Pinkerton (an archivist aficionado) on various historical exhibits. I was chosen to become the

S U M M E R

school’s first archivist and two decades later, I can say it was a job filled with people, research, and the unexpected. Fortunately, the school has had people in the past and present who have supported me and made the job easier: Arch Smith, Ed Hauser, Amy Foster, Nicolle McDougal, Karen Presser, Amanda Peltz, Connie Rafferty, Debi Wong, Kim DeFonce, Denise Palmer, Melanie Dunham, Ned and Maria Reade and Mark Berghold, as well as many others. In the waning days of my job as archivist/library assistant, I have been telling stories about some of my experiences. When Amy asked me to “archive” myself, we had a big laugh, but she was serious. I didn’t know where to start but then decided to retell two of those stories. The library converted from the old card catalogue to electronic records during my tenure. This entailed a massive amount of work as we had to handle each of the 25,000 books to find the identification number and enter it in to a hand held gadget. I was in my mid 30s and still vain enough not to want to wear glasses. While reading number after number, I discovered 6s looked like 8s and vice versa so I may have unwittingly messed up the whole conversion process. For that, I offer my sincere apologies. My archival “epiphany” came on a cold Saturday morning in December. Before this encounter, I had no interest in the history of the school but the question that day inspired me to never want to say, “I don’t know” again. A hockey mom sought refuge for a few minutes in the library from the cold open-sided (at that time) rink. She asked “Who was Tirrell?’ My response was a question “Who?” She replied, “you know, the guy for whom the rink was named.” I never saw her again but I credit her with starting me on my way toward becoming an archivist and not having to say “I don’t know” — at least not very often.

...the universe is unfolding as it should* by Greg Carpiniello

Maria Buteux Reade has served as an English teacher for twenty-seven years, and Dean of Faculty for twelve years. She will become an adjunct member of the faculty and administration at T-P as well as a working partner at Someday Farm in Dorset, Vermont, 10 miles from her home in Arlington, which she shares with her husband, Ned Reade. Ned will continue at Trinity-Pawling as Arts Chairman and coach of soccer and squash. Someday Farm, one of Vermont’s most respected small family farms, offers vegetables, poultry, game birds, eggs, compost, small fruits, maple syrup and honey. Maria manages the composting side of the business. In addition, Maria will continue to write articles for magazines and journals including Vermont Magazine and Edible Green Mountains. Maria will continue to oversee the greenhouse and gardens behind Scully Hall and will re-launch Food for Thought, a monthly after-dinner discussion series which promotes environmental education awareness. She plans to collaborate with the Science Department on environmental classes and the English Department on essay writing and journalism. She will work as an editor, proofreader, and occasional writer for Trinity-Pawling Magazine.

* excerpt from Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

aria Reade is my sister. She is my muse. She is my mentor. She is my critic. She is my editor. More than anything she is my inspiration and what inspires me is her courage. She has the courage to step away from the comfort, camaraderie and convenience of Trinity-Pawling after 27 years and seek a new adventure as a writer, farmer, and intrepid agricultural explorer in the verdant fields and sylvan peaks of Vermont. Maria and I share sundry interests. Our conversations cover the spectrum from the value of good tires for a new pick-up truck or the companionship of a fine canine, to the merits of a pithy bit of prose describing a well crafted slice of artisanal cheese. Ultimately, words have been our glue. Eager to share new words, we cleverly work them into conversations and emails. Flummoxed by the implied meaning of a particular word,

I will wander to her office to debate its use in a Chapel talk or advisor comment. Over the decades she has come to know that I love a good nature metaphor; as does she. This metaphor is about Maria. Maria Reade is a butterfly. We all undergo metamorphoses at Trinity-Pawling should we decide to make our life here. I know little of Maria’s time as a child. A few faded Christmas photos and the occasional glimpse into her childhood afford me only a fleeting knowledge of her “egg stage.” I know far more of her as a “caterpillar.” She arrived at Trinity-Pawling in 1986. She was an eager Hamilton co-ed. She was an indefatigable young French and English teacher, coach, and dorm master. She devoured all that was around her. In her case, she consumed the lessons of the seasoned prep school masters before her and secured her fine husband in

Continued from previous page Ned. All would serve her as sustenance during her transformation. In 2001 she entered her chrysalis. As Dean of Faculty she was often ensconced in her salon of an office in the south end of Cluett. Here she was faculty mentor, executor of myriad thankless administrative tasks, and proofreader of the many. Maria offered a comprehensive NYSAIS evaluation, the content for the Centennial history book, and an eloquent additional verse to the long neglected alma mater. All the while

she taught, coached, and shepherded the boys around her. Emerging in 2009, Maria began to try her new wings, fluttering cautiously about campus and alighting as if on a curious child’s thumb in the summer. She did so long enough to build Gamage Gardens, learn to drive a tractor, establish the Food For Thought lectures, and write another NYSAIS accreditation. However, her time at Trinity-Pawling as a butterfly was all too fleeting. She has flown away to Vermont. This tribute is intentionally laconic. To do otherwise would violate the sanctity

She is a doer and a visionary. Let us all wait patiently for her to return and grace the pages of this magazine with her own dispatches about her new life up north. Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1795 “agriculture is at the same time the most tranquil, healthy, and independent occupation.” May she find the tranquility, health, and independence she seeks. n

Giving Back Much of Trinity-Pawling’s success is due to those who have supported the School over many years. For that reason, giving back is central to our philosophy. This year Trinity-Pawling proudly supported the following charitable organizations.

The American Cancer Society—Relay for Life is an event where funds and awareness are raised in support of cancer research. TrinityPawling, in collaboration with Westover School, hosted teams of student, faculty, parents and friends for the 10-hour event. Roughly $19,000 was raised for The American Cancer Society.

SuperTy—T-P hosted a Hockey Night to Help Fight Pediatric Cancer at Tirrell Hockey Rink in January. A large crowd, including many from the greater Pawling community, supported the cause as Pawling H.S.Hockey took on Hendrick Hudson H.S. and Trinity-Pawling competed against Lawrenceville. The event was broadcast live and tshirts and concessions were sold to raise funds for the The Ty Louis Campbell Foundation, named for a local boy who died of cancer this October at age 5. SuperTy is an organization that funds innovative research and clinical trials specifically geared toward the treatment of the deadliest childhood cancers.

The American Red Cross—Trinity-Pawling hosts two Red Cross Blood Drives on campus each year. Blood collected at the blood drive may be used for trauma victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, premature babies, patients with complications during childbirth, and for patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease.

The Wounded Warrior Project— Team members of the Varsity Lacrosse Team sold game day t-shirts for their game against Delbarton School played at Rutgers University. A warrior attended the game and served as honorary team captain. The Wounded Warrior Project helps thousands of injured warriors returning home from current conflicts and provides assistance to their families.

Team Rubicon—Less than 2 weeks after Hurricane Sandy, a group of students and faculty volunteered to assist in disaster relief efforts in the Rockaways in Queens, NY. The group worked under the coordination of Team Rubicon, a non-profit organization made up of military veterans that deploy to global disaster zones.

Pawling Community Resource Center—For nearly two decades T-P has had a relationship with the Pawling Community Resource Center Adopt-A-Family program and over this span of time has raised approximately $25,000 for local families in need. 11

A Labor of Love by Douglas Boomer

URING THE WEEKLY CHAPEL service one Tuesday in April, the Trinity-Pawling String Quartet celebrated the musical accomplishments of young men by playing a very special piece of music. On March 15,1770, two hundred forty three years ago, a fourteen year-old boy named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart took a break from his family travels in northern Italy and sat down to compose his 80th piece of music, but his first string quartet. Despite having but a single day to accomplish the feat, he wrote four full movements, giving life to about eighteen minutes of glorious and yet substantial music in the key of G Major. Each of the movements, the Adagio, Allegro, Menuetto, and Rondo, are beautiful in their own right and provide a contrast in meter and tempo, as well as emotion. It is indeed an amazing feat, for any composer, to produce that amount of quality music in a single day, let alone a boy of such a tender age. Obviously, it was a sign of many great works to come. Mozart went on to write nearly six hundred full-scale pieces of music, including over forty symphonies and twenty-two operas, despite suffering an untimely death

at the young age of 35 years. It boggles the mind to consider the efficiency with which Mozart wrote music. One wonders what he may have been able to accomplish had he lived a normal span of life. This first quartet written by Mozart was of great interest to the Trinity-Pawling String Club because our boys knew they would be playing music conceived of by a boy their age. First Violin Chia-Ming “Jimmy” Lee ‘14, Second Violin Luke Murray ‘14,

ent. Having such beautiful sounds brought to bear in All Saints’ Chapel by the imagination of a teenage boy centuries ago and the hard work, talent, and dedication of these three current students resonates with the soul that is Trinity-Pawling. Each of the four instruments played on this day were handcrafted on the Trinity-Pawling School campus in a small basement workshop under East Dorm. Although members of the group have played my fiddles in the past, I had never made a cello to fill out the ensemble until this year. In fact I hadn’t completed it until about two weeks before the concert! Leo barely had time to practice with it in order to get comfortable.

T A PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL for young men, what’s the real value of an art program? It is easy to see the concrete necessity of the math department, or the crucial significance of our young men’s ability to read and write fluently, but surely the arts are a supplementary, optional bonus. Right?! Some colleges don’t even recognize the grades of art classes and remove them from an applicant’s GPA, considering them perhaps too subjective or unnecessary. When students arrive later in their careers to Trinity-Pawling and need a second chance to boost their SAT’s, or grade point average, athletic prowess, or college resumé, it would be easy to put the arts at the bottom of the priority list for their limited schedule, if on the list at all. So why does Trinity-Pawling continue to give so much support to the arts, and why can you regularly find seniors and post-graduate students in Advanced Art, photography, the school plays, or the choir? Don’t these classes deserve a second string rank when there are more pressing skills to hone in Math or English? As an exercise in comparison, let’s fastforward 20 years after high school gradu-

ation, and gauge the value of a subject by the average daily application of its usefulness. If we take mathematics for instance, most peoples’ daily lives do not require any use of advanced math beyond addition and subtraction. How often have you pulled out a calculus formula to average grocery bills, or employed a quadratic equation to trim a 2x4 for a handyman project? Unless someone is in a specialized field of science or applied math, it is rare that any substantial amount of high school math is relevant to their day-to-day decisions. Yet the value of problem solving, thinking linearly and logically, employing systems and strategies to organize is essential to a well-balanced life, and is the direct byproduct of mathematical exercises. Perhaps AP Calculus would seem MORE intimidating to you 20 years after class as it did the day you started, but a value of those years of thinking, stretching, and learning have left their valuable imprint on your brain. You also probably can’t remember the characters’ names from the junior year English novels, nor would you pass a senior level American History final exam with all those names, dates, and details if you had

to take it cold 20 years after the class. Again however, the value of our general grasp of history, or our capacity to read analytically and write a clear and eloquent thank you note, plays a part of every day, every email, and every paragraph we read and interpret. It is the shaping of our brain and the WAY that we think and process that was so valuable from our high school education, long after the specifics of the facts and figures have faded from our memory. So to return to our question of the arts: are they critical to the WAY that our brains think? Is Trinity-Pawling serving their boys well by encouraging them to invest in the arts, at the cost of other, more practical courses? Long after the clay mug we made on the pottery wheel has shattered, or our soliloquy from Shakespeare can no longer be recited, or the clumsy self-portrait has lost its honored place on grandma’s back bedroom wall, or our unpracticed fingers can no longer keep pitch on the violin, what is the imprint this artistic practice leaves on our brain? Like other high school subjects, most of us will not go on to use a specialized artistic skill in our daily lives or as a

vocation, but the “Right Brain” synapses remain. As a counterbalance to the linear, logical, verbal “Left Side” of our brain that is harnessed through math, literature, and language, the arts exercise the intuitive, holistic, emotive, and synthesizing components of the right side of the brain. These are as crucial a set of skills as the linear and logical, and are certainly expected and desired in every young man we graduate. From this perspective, one could ask why our curriculum is not more balanced, half and half, between left and right side brain activities, but the truth is that every class has a component of both sides somewhere on a spectrum. A literature or language course is close to the middle of the spectrum, demanding both halves of the brain to communicate and collaborate, whereas algebra may be extremely left-brain and a painting class farther to the right. A strong curriculum should immerse a student in all of these scenarios, and facilitate the cross-pollination of left and right brain skills. I can happily recall my own senior year of high school, when

Clockwise from left: Sam Bosha ‘13, Tin Tran ‘14, Will Bosha ‘15 and Cormac Bell ‘16 in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”, ceramic mug by Leo Chang ‘15, Henry Rickert ‘16 works on his personal heraldic crest, crest of John Ruggiero ‘16 and Thomas Bao’s ‘15 scratchboard “Wolf”

in the course of my standard NINE class day, my classes might go from AP English to photography, AP Calculus to Gym class, and AP American history back to a portfolio painting class or Art History. It was a whirlwind of a day with both sides of my brain in a headache by the end, but looking back, my brain never felt more alive or more stimulated, and I have to believe that the wide superhighway I was constructing between the linear left and the emotive right sides of my brain has served me in every decision since that high school experience. Having gone on to a liberal arts college, I was prepared well for the constant back and forth of demands to my intellect, and after a MFA degree boot camp season camped in the right side of my brain for years, I can honestly look back

on high school as perhaps the richest single time of my life for a well-exercised and balanced brain routine! As an art teacher now at Trinity-Pawling School, I long to provide that same richness and well rounded experience to our students. We can all picture the unbalanced extreme of personalities who do not have both halves of their brains working in tandem: the straight laced accountant with no sense of humor and an aversion to anything out of place or “spontaneous”, or the opposite “crazy” artist who is the complete free-

spirit, always messy, and always broke. Both make us cringe and both make us laugh as we see ingredients of each in people we know and love (and yes—even ourselves). The goal of the arts program therefore, is not to create the latter extreme, but to strengthen the conversation, the fluid brain synapses, firing between the left side of the brain and the right. Trinity-Pawling wants to graduate young men who have the logical (left brain) skills to break down a problem, and the creative capacity (right brain) to rebuild a new and unprecedented solution that carries our communities and culture forward. We also want men who are “cultured” and can appreciate a well-designed building facade, a beautiful sonata, or a museum collection of paintings, even if they aren’t able to create them themselves. There is not a course I teach in the arts at Trinity-Pawling that does not strongly employ both sides of the brain and demand that the two collaborate. My seventh graders have to design a boat from imagination, but then

they have to mathematically make a model from three views, accurately multiply its size, and then cut from their designed templates the actual pieces. In the end, they may once again be throwing splatter paint on the final surface or shaving down the original shape of the wings because, (intuitively, in my gut: “right brain”) “I feel like it needs to change here to be ‘just right’”. Likewise, when freshmen are painting a self-portrait,

there are hundreds of measurements the eye must make to accurately capture a likeness, and a senior in photo class will end up with a black photo unless they carefully follow a set system of steps and mix their chemicals correctly. Yet for all this, art happens, and within this framework of left-brain calculation, the emotive, expressive, intuitive right brain explodes out with unexpected power. It is not that the art department wants to produce “crazy artists”, but helps these young men to harness the raw power of emotion and feeling in the sails of their critical decision-making. “Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” [G. K. Chesterton.] Perhaps for some of us, an art class feels about as relevant to normal life as a fairy tale: frivolous, imaginary, and unnecessary. Yet, as this quote so beautifully addresses, the dragons in our society need heroes who will slay them, and heroes are shaped in the forges of imagination, creativity, and possibility. Science and math alone can’t quantify the problems and evils of this world and produce a simple solution. No, the heroes of our world are the courageous few who can face complicated problems and imagine a better world, a cure for cancer, a peaceful resolution to conflict, an alternative to fossil fuel. They are those who can bridge the right brain and the left, pulling imagination and dreams into the realm of reality. Can you imagine a world without

S U M M E R

imagination, beauty, or creativity? Can you imagine a well-developed young man without any of these qualities? Of course not! The arts aren’t critical because our students need to be great painters or musicians

in life to succeed, but because the WAY they think needs to include the artistic right brain influence. Trinity-Pawling School does well to encourage its students to invest their limited time in artistic growth, and we pride ourselves in graduating the well rounded intellectual and emotive men who will slay the dragons of our age. n Bryn Gillette has been a part of the Art Department at Trinity-Pawling School for three years, teaching Middle School art, Foundation Art, Photography, Digital Media, and Bible. He earned a B.A. in Visual Art and a minor in Bible from Gordon College in 2001, and an MFA in Painting from Western Connecticut State University in 2009.

Advanced Art Self-Portraits It’s easy to draw trees. If you put a twist in the trunk out of place or get the proportion of a limb wrong, no one is going to notice. But a self-portrait is entirely unforgiving: an eye only fractionally out of place or the line of the nose just slightly distorted is instantly noticeable and discrediting. For this reason, a mastered self-portrait proves the culmination of both the “left brain” accurate drawing skills and the “right brain” sense of design, balance, and beauty. This year’s crop of Advanced Art, larger-than-life-sized self-portraits is a celebration of this fusion, and invites a deeper investigation of its success. The assignment began with the prompt to capture the likeness of the student and to express their personality, not only in physical likeness, but further in that intangible quality of presence. Many students chose to don characteristic apparel as a symbol of their style or release from T-P’s dress code (as one of the many hats or a loosened tie) or placed a flag in the composition to celebrate their heritage: as with Bryce and Jack’s Canadian and American flags respectively. However, it is in their mysterious and surprisingly compelling gazes that much of their true identity is communicated. A unique feature of self-portraits is that the artist is often staring at themselves as they do the work, and therefore, is often looking straight back at you as the viewer, increasing the immediacy of personal connection. These piercing eyes are inescapable in the work of Han Han and Chris who appear to study you, or Nick who seems ready to break into a smile, or the “bouncer” Matt who truly looks intimidating, while the “distant” gazes of the other boys tell another story of their preoccupation elsewhere. Working on a human drawing bigger than life scale changes the surface into abstract areas while the artist is working. Many pieces demonstrate the artist’s “right brain” freedom to explore and discover the limits and nuances of the white and black charcoal against the brown paper. Within the constraints of shape and form dictated by the subject, the artist is able to express an infinite variety of emotion in the way he interprets each mark, evidenced in the beautifully detailed shirtsleeve by Chris, Han Han’s photographically accurate

glasses, or the abstract patterns created on Jack’s plaid shirt. Nick succeeds in making the skin tones of his face into a play of gradient shapes, while Billy’s flag shirt verges on a cubist construction of flat objects, each beautiful and uniquely transcribed from what they were actually observing. My favorite feature of these amazing portraits is the personification of light: the way the highlights and shadows tell the story of emotion in addition to sculpting the form of three dimensional reality from a two-dimensional piece of paper. While keenly observed in its subtle changes, a “soft” light dances over the face of Han Han and gently shapes the curves of his face and outfit. Another more dramatic light boldly declares Nick’s confidence through the velvety texture of his jacket and the strong shadows on his face. Matt appears to be emerging out of darkness, as though the light is revealing him for the first time, while Bryce confidently faces the oncoming light like a welcomed mentor. AJ’s elaborate sweatshirt folds hold the light down into his pensive pose, while Billy and Jack have a universal light that pushes them out of the realm of physical space and into a realm of imagination. It is Chris’ piece that seems to most powerfully communicate the presence of light, as though it is another character standing right beside him, illuminating every carefully studied feature of his face, casting the shadow of his arm across his shirt, and radiating a warmth and comfort over Chris. It is simply amazing what a variety of ways these boys have interpreted the presence of light, despite them all using the same materials, with the same assignment, on the same size piece of similar brown paper. May each of these young man, many of them having just graduated, continue to fuse their technical mind and creative heart in whatever tasks they undertake. May they, and the generations of students who come after them, be well balanced young men who can be both emotive and cerebral in appropriate measure. We celebrate this display of “right brain” emotional intelligence and “left brain” analytical accuracy working in collaboration for these self-portraits, and know that the value of this WAY of thinking will outlast the portrait themselves (even if they do hang with honor in grandma’s back bedroom for years to come.)

Theater Productions The theater program at Trinity-Pawling had a great year. We started off with Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple in the fall. The students had a great time finding the rhythms of the humor of the piece and playing up the comic situations. Because there were a lot of people interested in the play, we double cast some of the roles and gave opportunities for more people to be involved. In the winter, we performed A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which Mr. Smith praised as one of the finest productions of the play he had ever seen. We had the courtesans, with the exception of Philia, played by T-P students and they had a grand time cavorting about the stage, as did the rest of the cast. The spring saw the one acts with four of the five pieces either written or directed, or both, by students. There were many students who ventured upon the stage for the first time and did a great job. There are some seniors who will be leaving us and will be missed. Sam Bosha, Phong Quach, Darrin Phillips and Matt Mancuso participated in many plays in their time here, and the productions were better for their presence. Sam Bosha also served as a drama officer for the last two years. Tom Spore ‘13 was a guiding light behind the scenes throughout his four years and his efforts were much appreciated by all. We look forward to next year and all the challenges it will bring.

Good Morning, Governor... by Slade Mead U.S. Government Teacher

HEN I CAME TO TRINITY-PAWLING in the fall of 2009 as the college placement director, I was offered the opportunity to teach a US Government class. As a former policy maker, I accepted the offer with one caveat: that I could invite guest speakers to call in and share their perspectives with the students. I received an enthusiastic YES. “That was really cool,” one student remarked after we ended a call with a state legislator who was involved in the controversial SB1070 anti-immigration legislation from Arizona. “I had no idea that that was going on.” As a teacher those words are gratifying as I see one of my students make the important link to the running of government to their daily lives through the words of a participant in the event. When I was in high school my class spoke with a United States Senator, and that event in the mid-70’s launched my fascination with politics. My goal is to ignite that same interest in my U.S. Government students. Since the fall of 2009 my class has enjoyed an array of interesting speakers. One guest, for instance, was dynamic US Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords who dazzled the class with her quick wit, charm and strong message that one needs to get involved in one’s community whether it’s as simple

20 T R I N I T Y - P A W L I N G

as voting or running for Congress. The following year when Congresswoman Giffords was shot in January 2011, my class was visibly shaken. The shooting occured a year after her call in and the former students who contacted me were clearly upset; the Congressoman had become someone they felt they knew personally. Each year the class examines the three branches of American government and ends the year focused on specific events such as McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement, the War on Drugs, the Berlin Airlift and Watergate… all topics selected by the students based on issues they have heard about but are unsure about. I then invite speakers to address the individual topics. For instance, former maverick US Senator and Connecticut Governor Lowell P. Weicker shared his experience serving on the Ervin Committee (aka, the Watergate Committee). Following this particular class, Head Prefect Theo Kelly ‘13 commented that “Lowell Weiker’s candor regarding Watergate made me appreciate both the perspective he had and insight he was willing to share with us.” When we had a section focused on the War on Drugs, former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke joined the discussion bringing his first hand experience in running a major US city

Recent call-ins to T-P’s U.S. Government class: Barry Sussman, former Editor of The Washington Post; former US Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords; and former Mayor of Baltimore, Kurt Schmoke

and battling drugs. The class enjoyed other elected officials including a visit from CJ Mitchell’s ’11 grandfather former Governor Joseph Garrahy from Rhode Island. Governor Garrahy shared the hectic role of a governor in the time of state crisis as he told us about his office’s actions with the tragic 1977 Providence College fire and the 1978 paralyzing blizzard that shut down his state. The students heard how a governor often must rally his citizenry and lead the state through tough situations. When we studied the legislative process, both New York Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Arizona Congressman Harry Mitchell graced us with phone calls, sharing with the students the doings of Congress. Some of my guests are historians. My speakers focus on the topics being discussed. For instance, Brown University historian and author of The American Experience James Patterson shared his thoughts on the dawning of the nuclear age as well as McCarthyism. When we studied the US’s involvement in Europe specifically looking at the 1947 miraculous Berlin Airlift, author of The Candy Bombers Andrei Cherny called in and shared the amazing story he wrote of heroic Lieutenant Gail Halverson dropping candy on Berlin children from his C-54 Skymaster launching Operation Little Vittles which is credited with changing the German’s perception of Americans after WWII. When we study Watergate we read Barry Sussman’s wonderful book The Great Cover-Up. Mr. Sussman, the former

Washington Post editor, shares with the students both the trepidation and adrenalin- filled time at the Washington Post when two young reporters named Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein challenged the White House in a series of articles that rocked the constitutional foundation of our country.

Lowell Weiker’s candor regarding Watergate made me appreciate both the perspective he had and insight he was willing to share with us. When we delve into the Supreme Court, the class enjoys speaking with the wonderfully articulate and opinionated Leon County Judge Terry Lewis who handled the Florida recount in the now infamous Bush v. Gore decision. The students hear firsthand the challenges Judge Lewis encountered in organizing a statewide recount as well as his frustration when the recount was shut down after a manic and Herculean effort to design, implement and

execute a plan that, for all practical purposes, would have worked. We enjoy hearing Joseph Margulies, a Northwestern law professor and defense attorney, discuss his controversial representation of enemy combatants before the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark Guantánamo Bay cases. His talk is an eye opening experience as the students learn that in the U.S. justice system even perceived bad guys are entitled to a defense. We enjoy an interesting glimpse behind the nomination process in a fascinating conversation with Dennis Burke who was a staff member on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the wild and tumultuous Clarence Thomas hearings. It’s important that the students realize that everyday people make a difference on the world stage. To that end, in the fall when we were reading about the Department of Energy, we enjoyed the pearls of wisdom shared by Jonathan Read, the former CEO of ECOtality, a leader in the electric charging manufacturing for electric cars. His perspective on the U.S. and world energy policy made the students think and think hard about such issues as the Keystone Pipeline, the EV car project and our stewardship of our planet. U.S. Government is such a fascinating class to teach because often the students have heard of topics but really have no idea what they are. When blending with the reading actual people who play a role in the workings of our government, the material jumps off the page and into the classroom. Stay tuned for a list of future speakers. n

Hong Kong East meets west as Trinity-Pawling students and faculty take part in cultural exchange. by Ned Reade

Trinity-Pawling School students once again enjoyed an educational and cultural exchange visit with St. Paul’s College in Hong Kong for one week in March 2013. St. Paul’s College, known as the first Anglo-Chinese school in the world, consists of 1,200 students in the upper school, and all classes are taught in English. Our first group of students visited Hong Kong for a week in October 2010. Trinity-Pawling hosted a group from St. Paul’s in April 2012.

BOUT TWO NIGHTS BEFORE our trip to Hong Kong, I had one of those travel nightmares where I found myself separated from the TrinityPawling group. I had no cellphone, the afternoon light was waning, and I knew I would not recognize my neighborhood in the dark. I know others in our group had worries, perhaps, fears, as we prepared for our adventurous trip to China. Would we like the food? How would we communicate in a language none of us had studied, and would we be sleeping in a bed that fit our western body types? We need not to have worried. As soon as we were met at the airport by two faculty from St. Paul’s College and the host students who would be providing our homestays, we could see we were in good hands. We were given “octopus cards” which could be used for any public

transportation, and we exchanged some U.S. dollars for Hong Kong dollars. We were given cards to carry with us with the name and address of the school written in both English and Chinese characters which we could show to anyone in Hong Kong who could direct us “home” in the event that we got lost. The six students were met at 10 pm by their teenage hosts who took them back to their homes via cars or subway. I could see from our boys’ faces that they had many unanswered questions in their heads. The three T-P faculty—Frank Fritts, Matt Travis and I—were escorted by our St. Paul’s colleagues, Bill Ryan and Alex Wong, to the apartments which would be our home for the next week. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Wong had visited the T-P campus in previous years with a similarly apprehensive group of SPC students, and they knew how to put

all our concerns to rest. In the days that followed, all of us learned to navigate this futuristic city by bus, cab, or subway; we all learned to try the food and ask the name of it afterwards; and we all enjoyed the incredible sights of this fast-growing city. Hong Kong looks like a city of the future out of a Jetsons cartoon with people moving about on elevated walkways above the traffic and soaring skyscrapers overhead. Only 5% of people in Hong Kong own cars because garaging them at home is almost impossible and finding parking places is difficult. However, the contrasts between the old and new were startling. An old man in a narrow shop made bamboo containers for dim sum meals and next to his modest store sat an electronics shop with the latest phones and cameras. Along the streets in the Wan Chi area, dried mussels, sardines and eels catered to older shoppers since few of the younger generation in Hong Kong bother to cook at home. Actually, we learned that most people eat out because the food is so inexpensive. Above the street market stalls, laundry lines stretched from the apartment buildings above. The concrete buildings from the 1960s abutted sleek glass and steel towers from the 2000s. Regardless of a building’s age, laundry is still hung out to dry from

balconies and ledges because clothes dryers are expensive and take up precious space in an apartment.

uring our exchange with St. Paul’s College, we started most days at school at 8 am. The boys attended classes with their hosts for the first half of the day while the latter part of the day was given over to sightseeing. Attending an all boys’ school with classes and assemblies was not new for these gentlemen from T-P, but startling differences became clear. For example, the students remain in one classroom all day

I know things are pretty bad when the elevator knows more languages than I do!

and the teachers rotate in and out. Most classes had 35 and 40 students, and the teacher wore a microphone to be heard in the back of the room! The school day ended at 3:30. In the middle of the day, the students all had an hour for lunch. However, SPC has no dining hall so everyone hits the streets around the school to eat at Thai Pad, a Chinese restaurant or the pizza place. Even the 7th graders walked about the city, confident in their safety. When our students learned that the school year began in late August and ended on July 18, one said, “No wonder they are so far ahead of us in math and science!” As an art teacher I noticed many art projects were very small in scale. I saw

one class painting wooden figures only 5” tall. Another class was carving their initials onto a 1x1” piece of soapstone to use as a stamp, and still another was designing chairs which were the size of a small clock radio. This city school lacks the space to store larger art projects, so the art teachers create small portable projects. On our first full day, Sunday, we all took an excursion to the top of Victoria Peak which is an 1800-foot mountain overlooking the city. There we could see the harbor, the distant island and the skyscrapers hugging the edge of the water. All of us, Chinese hosts and American visitors, walked the two-mile trail around the top of the mountain. During the walk the boys talked in two’s and three’s and got to know each other a bit. When we came to a small playground, one of the SPC boys ran off the trail and jumped up on the parallel bars and propelled himself hand over hand from one end to the other. That broke the ice because the T-P boys were not to be outdone and ran to show their athletic prowess. In addition while we were waiting for a bus or tram, the boys would sit and share photos on their cellphones or music from their respective iPods. Before long the boys walked with their arms over the shoulders of their Chinese “brothers” when they meandered about the parks and city streets. FOOD, the worry in the back of everyone’s mind! At all meals, our Chinese hosts helped out by ordering the food which came in platters and large bowls and then

The T-P boys gave it a try and found that the dipping sauce made this delicacy worth going back for. After that there was no fear as others bought “bubble tea” with fish eyes in the bottom of the glass, and still others bought peanuts with dried sardines! Imagine T -P boys singing our school hymn, “For All the Saints” (without piano or organ accompaniment) in front of the girls at the sister school, St. Stephen’s Girls’ College!

everyone that our peers on the other side of the globe are really no different from us. Rather than thinking of China as a very large society reduced to economic statistics, we made connections on a personal level. We celebrated our similarities and enjoyed our differences with pride and excitement. This “experiment” began four years ago when the two Headmasters, Arch Smith and John Kennard, began to talk about arranging a cultural exchange. In a time when global understanding has become so important, this short trip has forged bonds between individuals and cultures that will carry our schools into the future. On the first day, the T-P boys and faculty took a “faculty only” elevator to the ninth floor of the school. As the door

Polo! Trinity-Pawling formed its first Polo team this year. The team met twice a week, travelling to nearby Haviland Hollow Farm, owned by a former T-P student, Sam Ramirez, Jr. The team members learned the necessary skills to play the “Sport of Kings.” While learning to play polo poses challenges to each individual in both body, and mind, it also teaches the importance of being a contributing member of a team. Learning the game of polo is fun and exciting...The life lessons and comraderie achieved within this group however, are everlasting.

Our community thanks Dianne Phillips Avlon, Trustee and P’91 for her leadership and commitment to this project. The Commemorative and Memorial Tree Program serves to fund additional specimen trees and shrubs for the Arboretum. This program has been established to provide the School’s alumni, parents and friends a way to gift a tree in honor of a special person or an event.

HIGHLIGHTS

Valedictory Address

Head Prefect Address

by Phong Quach

by Theo Kelly

e all have an obligation to help society be a better place. We are fortunate because of what T-P gave us. Our time at T-P has brought together many different people from many different places. How many high schools give their students a global glimpse of the world? My group of friends, for instance, includes people from the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and, even Africa… and, sorry, Ken, I am not really sure how to categorize Turkey! What an amazing advantage we enjoy over our high school peers from other culturally sheltered schools—we already have started building a global network—all thanks to Trinity-Pawling. I challenge all of us when we go back home whether it be me to Ho Chi Minh City, Javy to Madrid, Jordan to Seoul, Phillipos to Abbis Abbada, Allesandro to London or Paris (or wherever he says he’s from today), Frank to Shanghai, Wyatt to San Francisco, Tom to Chicago, Sully to Boston, Matt to New York City or Casey to Pawling to share the story about T-P. Tell our friends and neighbors about this beautiful school and encourage others to take advantage of what we have enjoyed. Help Mr. Robinson, encourage others to enroll at T-P and share the experience we shared. Our cultural differences make us stronger. T-P provides a myriad of opportunities. The faculty act as mentors, and show us how to take advantage of all that the school offers. And the students support one another in order to make life better for all. This is the place where we study, where we live, where we laugh, and where we cry. What’s more important, it is the place where we love.

ur generation must come to understand and know that SELFLESSNESS is one of the greatest qualities a person can have. That the sweetest things in life are thus obtainable by first acknowledging that you are not special, because everyone is. We 89 are special because out of those other 3.2 million seniors, we will be the only ones getting a Trinity-Pawling diploma. A diploma that will solidify our brotherhood and our experiences together at T-P till the day we die. Looking ahead from this graduation, also know that in life, there will be times when we will fail. We will not get a trophy for just participating in life. If everyone got a trophy in life then trophies would become meaningless; if everyone was perfect, perfection would mean nothing. •••

n life it is the perseverance and motivation for success that we learned here, at Trinity-Pawling, which will let us overcome our future failures. However, know that we must desire to achieve success for the right reasons. “Success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life, as by the obstacles, which he has overcome while trying to succeed” (Booker T. Washington). Climb mountains in life not to plant your flag on the top but to conquer the challenge. Climb it so that YOU can see the world, not so the WORLD can see you. Learn. Improve yourself intellectually to make the world a better place. Philosophers, such as Father Gedrick, might say that the first key to happiness in life is wisdom. The second is ice cream, just to clarify.

Commencement Address by Colonel David Murphy ‘77

K, three bits of advice that helped me over these last three years that I learned at TrinityPawling that may help you graduates: Listen, care less about who gets credit, sacrifice. When I got a phone call four years ago on a Metro North train to NYC asking if I would volunteer for Afghanistan the answer was easy. You can’t spend 25 years in uniform, without answering the call. It was a job I was well suited for and I could add value. I don’t know if I could have slept a sound night the rest of my life if I hadn’t said “yes”. The lessons that made that an easy decision were learned at T-P. So how do you young graduates know when it is right time sacrifice for something bigger than yourself ? You will never

really know it’s coming. There is no schedule for the timing of such decisions. You may be able to see the time coming, or it may come on some idle Tuesday afternoon. But you will know in your gut what the right decision is. Remember three things:

Listen well; Care less who gets credit; Sacrifice for something bigger than yourself.

I wish to thank you all for this great honor of addressing the graduating class. It is a deep and enduring privilege to be an alumnus of this great institution. To the graduating class: We are all very proud of you, the Pride of Fighting Gentlemen.

According to David Crystal ‘57, “Alan was warm, friendly, had a great sense of humor and left a lasting impression on all he met.” Alan’s wife Patsie joined the TrinityPawling community for the dedication. Trinity-Pawling is grateful to Marlynn and Bill Scully ‘57 for their continued generosity in making the new faculty homes a reality.

In 1999 he moved to Anaheim and concluded his playing career with the New York Mets in 2003. The baseball field represents only a portion of Mo’s generosity to Trinity-Pawling. An endowed scholarship in his name also provides financial support to a deserving student-athlete. Mo, who was in attendance with his parents Leroy and Shirley, thanked the Hubbard, Coratti, Smith and Hutchinson families for being instrumental in his growth “as an athlete and as a human being.” He concluded, “I always take Trinity-Pawling with me every where I go.”

uring Reunion Weekend in September, a large crowd gathered for the dedication of the Mo Vaughn’ 86 Baseball Field. The field, originally built in 2004, now includes a clay infield and irrigation system. After graduating from Trinity-Pawling, Vaughn attended Seton Hall. He was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1991, joined the team in 1993, and earned the American League MVP Award in 1995.

Home Field Advantage

rinity-Pawling School studentathletes will soon have the home field advantage thanks to a gift from a generous donor. The major gift will fund the installation of a new artificial turf field and the renovation of the tennis courts. Both projects will be completed by the opening of school 2013. Headmaster Arch Smith said, “We are grateful for the continued support of this generous donor. These projects will be valuable additions to our facilities, and will provide considerable enhancements for our current students and to our athletic program. They will also gener-

ate interest among prospective studentathletes.” The turf field project, which will include lights for night games and parking, will be named in honor of Associate Headmaster and longtime Varsity Football coach David Coratti, who completed his tenure as head coach this November after 26 years. It will be located in the area behind the athletic complex currently used for parking and the football practice field. The new turf field will be utilized by Trinity-Pawling’s Varsity Football, Soccer and Lacrosse Programs. Work has been completed on the refurbishment of the tennis courts, which consist of 9 new courts, parking, and a small building with storage and restrooms.

Pride Athletics Fall Sports Season

Varsity Football (5-3) The football team enjoyed a successful 5-3 season in Coach Coratti’s final effort as the head coach. Signature wins over Avon, Taft, and Hotchkiss highlighted a season that very well could have witnessed seven or even eight victories. The Pride opened with a 14-8 win at Avon. Things looked good the next week as the Pride enjoyed a late game lead and were driving for another score, but a dubious call allowed Kent to take the ball the length of the field to go ahead and win 31-27. The Pride rebounded with a three game winning streak, beating Berkshire 37-7, Hotchkiss 60-23, and Taft 40-14. Loomis came to Pawling next with their best squad in many years and prevailed in a see-saw battle 35-31, despite a 104 yard kickoff return by Carlo Perello ‘13 to put the Pride ahead late in the game. The Pride traveled to Salisbury on a freezing, windy night and came close to stealing one on the road, but was denied 31-23, failing to score the tying points as the clock ran out. The Pride concluded their season with another seesaw affair, ultimately prevailing over Brunswick 38-36 to close out the season on a positive note. It is clear the team was extremely competitive and well coached. The scores indicate the boys could have prevailed in any of the eight games, which is a testament to the players and coaches. A special thank you goes to Coach Coratti for his thirty-two years of service, twenty-six as Head Coach. He was treated to a fine banquet following the Brunswick games where players from his entire career paid him tribute. Several players won league and team awards.

Athletes Honored

At the conclusion of each athletic season, students and faculty gather in the Gardiner Theater to honor Varsity Athletes. Coaches and captains speak about team accomplishments, and certain student-athletes receive awards for their outstanding contributions. As is tradition, these awards are followed by the Athletic Banquet in Scully Hall.

Cornerback Carlo Perello ‘13 (Tampa, FL) were awarded All-Erickson Conference. Being named All-Erickson is a great honor as all the coaches from the League vote on the recipients. Quarterback/Safety Najae Brown ‘13 (Newburgh, NY) and Running Back/Linebacker Zach Thornton ‘13 (Scarsdale, NY) were awarded the highest honors being named to the All New England Team.

This ignited the team as they responded with consecutive victories over Westminster and Gunnery. After a tough loss to Hotchkiss, the Pride played effective soccer to close their campaign – notching a win in their final tilt vs. Cheshire. The coaches were complimentary in highlighting the spirit of the team. Their resilience after some difficult losses and key injuries was noteworthy as well.

we would have had even more success. However, I know that the two targets I set at the beginning of each year were denied to the young men who stand in front of you, not by their own failings but due to decisions that the weather caused others to make. We were poised to win the WNEISWA title only to have the event cancelled. We had that on our minds all season and never got to achieve a very obtainable goal.

Additionally, I want all the JV wrestlers to know that other coaches in New England are jealous of the talent that we have in the room.” The team sent twelve grapplers to the New England Tournament, and four emerged with invitations to the Nationals at Lehigh. The team finished 13th with 56 points - trailing league foes Avon (3rd),

Deerfield, witnessed the Pride playing passionate and entertaining hockey. The team was streaky, suffering a rough patch between mid-December and mid-January. A rare Friday night tilt vs. Lawrenceville in front of a packed house began a five game winning streak heading into the playoff hunt. Alas, the squad lost three close heartbreakers to conclude the season, just a win shy of ten.

Varsity Squash (5-9) The squash team, led by a slew of seniors, had a successful season, all things considered. With five seniors playing in the top seven spots, there were high hopes, and the beginning of the season reflected these aspirations. After losing early-season matches to Suffield and perennial powerhouse, Taft, the Pride rattled off five consecutive wins in convincing fashion over Berkshire, Kingswood-Oxford, Canterbury, Kent and Williston-Northampton. Unfortunately, with the exception of a late-season win over Canterbury, they were unable to gain a win with the remainder of the matches against a number of talented teams from New England, giving us a 6-10 record

and a 13th place finish in Division 2 at New Englands. New England squash is arguably the most competitive squash in the country, and we are right in the middle of it. Rather than focus on the record, though, there were a few individuals who deserved to be recognized. Gunho (Ken) Jung ‘13 had the best record on the team and represented TrinityPawling with integrity. He was a sportsman on the court and a leader off of it. Ken earned the season’s Coaches award.

WINTER Coaches Award: Jack Margiotta ‘13

Coaches Award: Matt Mancuso ‘13

The Ned Reade Squash Award was awarded this year to Fernando Flores ‘13, an individual who loves the game of squash and will take this love to Hobart College. He has taught some of his peers how to play the game, and he has been the most vocal of his teammates. Even though he was unable to play at New Englands, he traveled with the team because of his love for the game and his teammates. Fernando was a huge part of the squash program at T-P and was more than deserving of this year’s Ned Reade Squash Award. Next year’s captain is Miguel Betances ‘15, a talented player who played the majority of the season at the #1 spot, quite

an accomplishment for a sophomore at this level. JV Squash (4-9) Skiing Varsity Skiiing’s greatest challenge this winter was the weather. Three key races were cancelled due to snow, cold, and rain.

the gates, trying to beat the clock. However, the contests were all squeezed into one week, putting our boys on a New England ski tour. In one week our team traveled to Butternut Ski area in Massachusetts, Ski Sundown in Connecticut and Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Maine. The week took a toll on us mentally and physically, which was very evident at the New England’s tournament where all skiers fell. Unfortunately we recorded our worst results of the year. Including NEPSAC’s, our one qualifying race, one make up race, along with the league championships, the team finished the season with a 10–36 record. There is no doubt this ski team would love to have achieved a better record, and perhaps even brought home some hardware, but it wasn’t to be this year. However, to say we had an unsuccessful season would be wrong. This team made a commitment to racing, working hard every day, pushing each other to improve. And improve they did: New to ski racing Ben London ‘15 finished the season racing in our 3rd seed having two top 20 finishes. Thomas Miller ‘15 was the most consistent racer at our league championships, placing in both disciplines, and having the fastest team times in the Giant Slalom. Gibson Drysdale ‘13, our number one seed, earned skier of the year, winning the Livingstone B. Cole award, for the second year in a row. Thomas Miller ‘15 won the Most Improved Skier award, skiing in the seventh spot last season to number 2 racer this year. Every skier on the team improved his times. The Trinity-Pawling coaching staff would like to thank all who participated this year. Great job, think snow, and we will see you on the slopes next winter.

beginning to the season the Pride found themselves 4-4 on April 20th with tough losses to Deerfield 10-9 and Westminster 9-8 in OT. Coach Bell gave an impassioned post game speech at Westminster and the team responded with 10 straight wins, including signature victories over Avon 14-5, Choate, 15-4, and Brunswick 14-13 2 OT. The Pride was ranked #24 in the nation heading into their final two games and in contention for a Founder’s League title. The Pride notched a hard fought victory over a determined Kent Squad 7-6 and then faced another huge challenge in 12-5 Taft to conclude the season. The Pride battled back from 6-4 to tie the game in the 4th quarter, only to lose 7-6 on a last second Taft goal. The loss dashed the league title hopes and dropped the Pride from the national top 25, but did not diminish the accomplishments of this year’s team. This team’s strength of schedule was among the most rigorous in the nation, which allowed the Pride to finish the year ranked 35th nationally in one poll. While several key players are heading to excellent college programs (see pages 37-38 for colleges and award winners) there remains a terrific core of players returning. JV Lacrosse (7-6) Varsity Baseball (5-12) The Varsity baseball team had a hard luck season. After winning three of their first four games over Gunnery, Kent, and Westminster, the team endured a seven game losing streak before winning two of their final six. The boys dropped seven

Some keys injuries depleted the pitching staff and had these arms been healthy, many of the close games could have been victories very easily. Standout performers were Mikael Ali-Mogues ‘13, Johnny Coughlin ‘14, Joe Barone ‘14, Carlo Perello ‘13, Kyle Zacharewicz ’14, and James Varian ‘16.

one of the younger teams competing in the league. The team was able to elevate their game tremendously this season by their ability to play at various courses. Thanks to some parents, Pride Golf showcased their skills at Trump National several times, and River Oaks Country Club. The team started one freshman, three sophomores, and two seniors. The young squad showcased their ability with wins over Choate, Canterbury, Berkshire, Kent and Hopkins. The Pride golf team was made up of mostly all players being remarkably even. On any day any individual could be the team’s low score. It seems that this team will have a bright future. The Pride got outstanding performances

Awaiting new tennis courts, the team was forced to travel 25 minutes to and from practice every day – which also meant no home matches. However, the team showed its resilience

by battling through the circumstances. The Pride won a couple of close matches against Canterbury and Millbrook, but dropped its next five matches to more highly skilled opponents. T-P tennis found its groove taking care of The Gunnery, and finally rival Kent in a nail-biting 4-3 match. Despite their record the team always maintained positive morale. Head coach Tim Pillsbury stated, “As a coach, I want the story of the season to be a positive one of fun, hard work, and improvement. We had fun, struggled at times with the hard work, and definitely improved. Our culminating moment was our win over Kent in the last match.” Key contributors this season were captains Gyuri Dragomir ’13 and Rohin Vyas ’13, Brad Canfield ’13, and Sean Solecki ’16. Track (4-11) This year’s Track and Field team was comprised of an entertaining group of athletes with a wide range of background and abilities. The team finished with 4 wins and 11 losses, with wins over Cheshire, Marianapolis, and two key victories over rival Brunswick. The Pride earned many points in close meets, but unfortunately things did not always turn out as the team hoped. A season plagued with illness and injury forced some key competitors to miss crucial meets. Despite a challenging season, the Pride earned a spot at Founder’s finishing 7th, and later finished 12th at New England’s. Ryan Yearwood ’13, Greg Harney ’14, Brent Howell ’14, and Darrin Phillips ’13 competed with great determination and earned points for the team at NEPSTA.

Q&A

Alumni Profile In 2011, Mike MacDonald graduated from Trinity-Pawling and made his way to New Jersey to attend Princeton University. In just 2 years at Princeton, Mike has made a name for himself. MacDonald, who just completed his sophomore year, has earned impressive accolades on the lacrosse field while enjoying success in the classroom. MacDonald from Georgetown, ON, Canada, spent two years at T-P, and during that time accomplished a great deal. His older brother Brendan, class of 2010, had already spent a year on campus, which inspired Mike to check it out for himself. Mike excelled in soccer, hockey, and lacrosse, and went on to captain the hockey and lacrosse teams his senior year. Mike earned All Western New England Honors in 2010 and All New England Honors in

How did Trinity-Pawling help prepare you for Princeton? MM: With such a heavy workload at Princeton, I really need to utilize my time management and organizational skills. The structured schedule at Trinity-Pawling taught me how to remain on task here. I know exactly when to sit down and get my work done, and how to prioritize what needs to get done. I owe this all to my experience at T-P. What makes Trinity-Pawling unique? MM: The community as a whole is what makes T-P so special. There was never a time that I felt like I was alone. If I needed someone to talk to, or to hang out with, I could always find some-

2011 in lacrosse. He was a member of the Key Club, a Dean’s Assistant, and was frequently found on the Headmaster’s List. MacDonald graduated Magna Cum Laude, and his hard work in the classroom and on the lacrosse field earned him a tremendous opportunity at Princeton University. Mike’s success at T-P continued on the Princeton campus. On the field, Mike started in every game as a freshman tallying 22 goals, 8 assists for 30 points—ranking him 5th all time for

one. If I needed extra help and I could not find my specific teacher, I could speak with another faculty member and they would offer assistance. What’s the secret to success at T-P? MM: I always did what I was supposed to do. Listen to what the school and faculty preach. If you use your time wisely, and remain focused on the task at hand—you will be successful at Trinity-Pawling. What I learned at T-P is the backbone of what I do and how I act on a daily basis. Why do you feel connected to TrinityPawling? MM: I loved my experience at T-P, and

would do anything for the place. I enjoy being an advocate for the school. I frequently speak with potential students to share my thoughts on the School and the lacrosse program. I love to speak about my experience and the great times I had. I mean it when I say I would do anything for T-P. What advice do you have for current or prospective students? MM: Stop for a moment. Take a step back and look at the big picture. TrinityPawling took a pretty average kid who took full advantage of all its opportunities, and helped guide me in a whole new direction. The opportunity to attend Trinity-Pawling is extremely special make the most of it.

The T-P reception at The Union Club in New York this spring was just fabulous. I was reunited with classmates Bruce Huffine and wife Betsy, and Freddie Modell and wife Vicki. We were lucky to have Stretch Gardiner ’40 attend, such an inspiration! During the winter/spring months, we were fortunate to see the progress on the campus. The new faculty housing – the Arches and the Allen House are just fantastic. God Bless the Scully’s!

Bill Scully ’57 is a gentleman of the ‘old school’, and generous to a fault. Thank you Scully’s, for helping to create a world-class campus. Visitors, students, ‘old boys’ like me, and the faculty are in awe of this extraordinary couple!” Graduation this year was cold, blustery, and wonderful as usual. Every time I return to school, I become 17 again. T-P for me is the fountain of youth! Have a good summer everyone! Bob Weeks writes: “I haven’t retired completely even though I should. I stay active, cycling road and off road, trying to keep fit. I am active in my church in the choir and play the guitar (one of the few lefties), and, yes, I am still an Episcopalian. I see my grandchildren when I can. I run around my area doing the National Crime Victim Survey for the Census Bureau, but do not need the stress. On occasion I target shoot at a local range, and tend to several dogs and a few cats.”

Alumni Squash Match January 6, 2013

Alumni from the ‘80’s, ‘90’s and 2000’s pulled out their racquets for a friendly battle against TrinityPawling’s Varsity Squash Team in January. Most of the brave alums played two to three matches before waving the white flag at the Rock Squash Courts. The group later gathered at Reiter House, the home of Maria and Ned Reade, for a pasta dinner with all the fixings. The exchanges between alumni and students often 20 years apart were energetic and fruitful. Though few alumni remembered their team records from years before, they all recalled many “life lessons” learned on the courts and the lifelong friendships they created with fellow teammates.

John Merrill writes: “After 32 years in schools, mostly in college counseling, I decided it was time to retire. Perhaps it was the commute, or perhaps it was time to rest and chase grandchildren around. In reality, it was time to take a breather. It has been two years now, and while I enjoy sleeping late and the relaxed mornings, I still do keep my finger in the business as I opened up a private practice for college counseling in Wellesley. Business has been good and I hope to continue for at least five more years. Naturally, if any alum is facing that time when his children are looking at the college process, I would love to hear from them. All is good in my life here in Wellesley. Debbie and I have five wonderful grandchildren, three in VT and two in CA. People may remember Dori, she is the one on the left coast. Jay, the terror on the Big Wheels with Zandy Smith, is currently working at Northfield-Mount Hermon in Admissions. He cannot believe that he is following the old man. I often look back on the eight years at T-P and remember how terrific a place it was and still is. It was a wonderful community to be a part of. I have loved seeing familiar faces on Facebook, although I find it distressing that I was clearly unable to truly convey my liberal political views to some. I would love to hear from more of my former students (I still have your gradebooks and I am sure there are several out there who owe me an assignment or two).”

One of the most touching parts of the service was when Rufus’ daughter Martha explained how after Rufus’ stroke, he couldn’t speak but could sing. While he remembered several Frank Sinatra songs well, his favorite song was our school hymn, For All the Saints. Martha affectionately explained how she often sat with her father on their favorite rock looking out on Thunder Bay, singing the school hymn together. When she was done speaking, she asked me to lead the congregation in singing her father’s favorite hymn.

He traveled to Australia and New Zealand as one of the stars of his amateur baseball team. With the support of his mother and Big Guy, he traveled to many tournaments throughout New England. He was working toward a degree in sports psychology so he could help others achieve their dreams. Michael was a true friend to all he knew. Whether you were family, a classmate or a teammate, Michael was on your side. Michael’s friendship was always evidenced by his smile and easy-going spirit. He leaves behind the Caron family of Andover, MA, who gave him love and support when he needed it most. Sean M. Bertanza ‘09, age 22, of Seymour, CT entered into rest on December 20, 2012 in his home, peacefully of natural causes. Sean was born in Bridgeport, CT on March 2, 1990, beloved son of Mark and Karen Minardi Bertanza and was a resident of Shelton, CT for many years before moving to Seymour in 1999. He was a member of Seymour High School Class of 2008, where he excelled at basketball and served as team captain. He attended Trinity-Pawling School for a year and was attending Lasell College in Newton, MA. He scored 55 points in a game, a record score across all college divisions in 2010, and was currently captain of the basketball team. He is the cherished brother of Kristie

Garrett, Jill Garrett, Mark Bertanza, and Karen Garrett. Gil Menzie, son of former faculty members Beth and Andy Menzie, died Feb. 8, 2013, at Albany Medical Center. He was born May 7, 1993, in New Milford, CT. Gil was predeceased by his grandfather, Douglas Menzie. He is survived by his grandparents, Mary Menzie, Norris and JoAnn Hamner; his parents, Beth and Andrew Menzie; and his brothers, John Patrick ‘05, Michael O’Donnell and Douglas Menzie. Gil Menzie was a fighter. When he was 6, he was told that only a heart transplant could save him. Eight months later, he walked out of New York City’s Mt. Sinai Hospital with the gift of a heart from another heroic child and a determination to keep up with his three brothers. Although his fiery attitude drove more than one tutor to quit, Gil never did. He played soccer and lacrosse at the modified and junior varsity level, and thoroughly enjoyed his senior prom. Because of his experiences when he was young, Gil was determined to make a difference by entering the field of nursing. His work as a volunteer at Saratoga Hospital’s emergency room reinforced his determination to ”give back” all that he received when he was younger. He had recently completed his first year of intensive study for a degree in nursing. Sadly, he was not able to fulfill his final dream, but his family hopes that the gift of giving will remain his legacy. Most importantly, people should remember Gil by giving the gift of life by becoming an organ donor.

IMPRESSION

Dressed to the Nines Dressed in your best clothes and other finery ‘To the nines’ is generally accepted to be a corruption of the Old English ‘to then eyne’, to the eyes, the whole expression suggesting well turned out from head to toe. A Pawling School tradition, held annually on November 13, was Collar Night; each student attempted to rip the shirt collar off a classmate, while keeping his own intact. The shirts (like those worn by the boys on this page) were heavily starched and formal. This type of shirt had a collar which was detachable and was very popular from the 1820s through the 1920s. Pictured on the facing page is one such torn collar found pasted on a page in an old 1913 Pawling School scrapbook. Many Pawling School boys dressed in “Arrow” brand collars, manufactured by the Cluett, Peabody and Co., Inc. and co-owned by George Bywater Cluett of Troy, New York. The Alfonzo Rockwell Cluett Foundation, Pawling School’s first building, was constructed in 1909 as a memorial to Mr. Cluett’s son who died at the age of twenty one. Mr. Cluett was the benefactor of Cluett Hall, as it is commonly known. Due to the connection of Cluett and collars, it is not surprising that Pawling School celebrated the Collar Night tradition, perhaps one which was unique to the school.
